SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING WIRELESS COMMUNICATION JAMMING IN A NETWORK

摘要

An electronic device may include a processor and a network interface that may include a first radio and a second radio. The processor may be configured to perform wireless communication jamming attack detection by occasionally performing clear channel verification utilizing the network interface to determine whether a threshold number of devices' channels are incapacitated in a wireless network within a threshold amount of time and/or by sending a heartbeat signal from the first radio and determining whether the second radio received the heartbeat signal.

主权项

1. An electronic device, comprising:
a power source configured to provide operational power to the electronic device; a network interface comprising a first radio and a second radio, at least one of the first radio and the second radio being configured to wirelessly communicate with one or more of a plurality of other electronic devices over at least one wireless channel per other electronic device; and a processor coupled to the power source and the network interface, the processor being configured to:
occasionally perform clear channel verification utilizing the network interface and determine, based on the clear channel verification, whether a threshold number of the wireless channels are incapacitated within a threshold amount of time; orsend a heartbeat signal from the first radio and determine, based on whether the second radio received the heartbeat signal, whether a wireless channel over which the network interface of the electronic device is configured to wirelessly communicate is incapacitated; orany combination thereof.
